Wei Xiuyan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say anymore. Even if the Emperor wants to kill me, I will not agree."
The Wei family was anxious about Wei Xiuyan's "ignorance". Wei De was afraid that Hong Zhou would be angry, so he smiled and said, "Xiuyan is a little confused after driving for these days. I hope the prince is not to blame!"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Xiuyan said in a cold voice: "I'm very sober, and all of you are thinking that I will agree, so that you can climb the dragon and the phoenix and enjoy the glory!"
Wei De's face turned red when she said it. After a while, he frowned and said, "We are doing it for your own good. Do you really want to wait until the emperor beheads you to be happy?"
Hong Zhou emphasized his tone and said: "What your family said is right. As long as you nod your head, although you cannot enter the palace, you can live a life of wealth and worry-free from now on. This is something that many people can't hope for.
"
Wei Xiuyan was about to open her mouth when Hong Zhou said again: "I know what you want to say, but have you ever thought that before Sixth Brother died, he begged the emperor to spare you the death penalty for what reason? I just hope that you can live.
Go on, now that you are doing this, do you really think you are worthy of Brother Six? Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Xiuyan said excitedly: "Don't mention the emperor to me again! If the emperor hadn't stopped me from being with the sixth elder brother, how could he have died? Now that the sixth elder brother is gone, the emperor wants to accept someone before him.
Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for a woman who has been belittled and looked down upon by him in every possible way?”
Hong Zhou sighed in his heart and said: "No matter what, it is your blessing to be favored by the emperor, so cherish it!"
"No need!" Wei Xiuyan refused without hesitation, "Please tell the emperor these three words!"
Father Wei was afraid that things would become tense, so he raised his hands to Hongzhou and said, "Your Majesty, Xiuyan has been stubborn since she was a child. Can you give the common people some time to persuade her?"
Hong Zhou nodded and said: "Forget it, I will give you one night. If you still can't persuade her to change her mind tomorrow, I will have no choice but to report the truth to the emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After sending Hong Zhou and Xiao Wu out, Father Wei walked back and stared at Wei Xiuyan, saying in a deep voice: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Wei Xiuyan said sarcastically: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because it's blocking your way to promotion and wealth?"
Wei De's face darkened and he shouted: "How can you talk to your father like this?"
"Father?" Wei Xiuyan sneered, with unspeakable sarcasm in her eyes, and stared at Wei's father: "Ask yourself, do you really treat me as your daughter? No, in your eyes, I am just a chess piece.
When she is useful, she is a good daughter; when she is useless, she is a hindrance and a rebellious daughter.
, just like when I was in prison, I wish I could kill me with a knife in exchange for your chance to live! And you..." She glanced at Wei De and others one by one, and said with hatred and sadness: "After so many years
We depend on each other for life, but in the end, it is still no match for your selfish desires and interests!"
Everyone was speechless after being scolded by her. After a while, Wei De just managed to say, "It's no wonder we are the ones who asked you to have a private life with Brother Six, and ended up in a big disaster. You said that if you press
How could it end up like that if you just follow the empress’s arrangements!”
His wife took over from the side and said: "Isn't that right? You almost killed us, are we still not allowed to blame you? Do you think it is easy for the empress to work hard in the palace and survive to this day?
You almost ruined everything."
Seeing that they all showed no regrets, Wei Xiuyan felt extremely chilled. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, in your eyes, I will never be as good as my sister. In this case, you are all trying to please the concubine, why not?"
What do you say to me!"
Father Wei said in a deep voice: "Xiuyan, I know that you are resentful of us because of what happened when you were in prison. But now it's not that we want to force you to do anything, but that the emperor has taken a fancy to you and wants to accept you as his wife."
Concubine, under the imperial edict, no one can refuse."
Wei Xiuyan stared at him for a long time, shook her head and said: "No, I can refuse, as long as I am willing to take this life."
Wei's mother came over, took her hand and persuaded: "Xiuyan, why are you doing this? Mother knows that you are deeply in love with the sixth elder brother, but as I said to the prince just now, the sixth elder brother doesn't want to see you either.
If you lose your life, you should be aggrieved and accept this..."
"Impossible!" Wei Xiuyan interrupted her and said coldly: "In this life, I will only marry Brother Six, and I will never marry anyone else, not even the emperor."
Wei Xing said eagerly: "But if you do this, you will kill us!"
Wei Xiuyan glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "If the emperor really wants to do this, there is nothing I can do." Since they are ruthless, why should she be righteous? For this family, she is disappointed.
"You!" Seeing that Wei Xiuyan was so stubborn, Wei Xing raised his hand angrily. Before he could wave it down, Wei's father shouted: "Stop!"
After Wei Xing put down his hand in frustration, Wei's father said: "Xiuyan, do you want me, the father, to kneel down and beg you before you agree?" Seeing that the latter was silent, he gritted his teeth and bent his knees to kneel down, but was
Wei Xiuyan stopped her, and just when Father Wei thought she was relenting, the latter said coldly: "You don't have to kneel to me, because I will definitely not agree!"
Such determination made Wei's mother panic, "Daughter, no matter what, we are also your biological parents. Do you really want to be so cruel and heartless?"
"In this life, I will never betray my sixth brother again!" After saying these words, Wei Xiuyan turned and left, leaving behind the Wei family who were filled with hatred and annoyance. After she left, Wei De said eagerly: "Father,
Xiuyan is so stubborn and refuses to listen to advice, but what should we do? We finally escaped from the gate of hell, but we must never step in again!"
Father Wei snorted coldly and said: "It's because she is too indulgent on weekdays, and even a little trivial matter makes her hold a grudge to this point. She doesn't even think about it. Without the Wei family and the empress, how could she have lived so peacefully for so many years?
"
Wei Xing said anxiously: "The most important thing now is to get Xiuyan to nod, otherwise we won't be able to communicate with the prince again tomorrow."
Father Wei didn't understand in his heart, but for a while, he couldn't think of a way to do it. After a long time, he stamped his feet vigorously and said: "Go on your knees, I don't believe she is really here for a dead man.
I don’t even miss the slightest bit of family affection.”
Although everyone resisted, they really couldn't think of a better way. Together with Wei's father, they knelt outside the house where Wei Xiuyan was staying, and refused to get up no matter what the latter said.
When the Wei family was in a stalemate, the palace was also in turmoil. The problem naturally came from Hongli's sudden pardon for the Wei family and their exile in Ning Guta. No matter how hard they tried, no one could understand that they clearly wanted to kill the Wei family.
